Gain hands-on skills to design, build and manufacture in the Computer Numeric Control (CNC) machining courses held in our state-of-the-art machining center. This program is affiliated with Gene Haas Foundation of Haas Automation, the largest CNC machine tool builder in the western world.

Learn the latest technologies and get exposure to the entire spectrum of manufacturing. Delve into computer modeling and creation. Design for technology applications on our brand-new Haas machines.

ADVM 0062. Introduction to 2D CAD/CAM

Units: 2.5
Hours: 81 (27 lecture, 54 laboratory)
Introduction to use and operation of a CAD/CAM software system. Developing part geometry with Computer Aided Design (CAD), importing files, planning cutting and machine operations, and developing machine tool paths using Computer-Aided Machining (CAM). (not transferable)

ADVM 0063. Design Using Fusion 360

Units: 2
Hours: 72 (18 lecture, 54 laboratory)
Integration of Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided-Manufacturing (CAM) using the Autodesk Fusion 360 software platform. This includes parametric solid model designing, and the presentation of those designs using built in model rendering. Also covered is the use of CAM tools for control of CNC machines.
